Definitions
- the subject of this invention is measurement thickness of a wall of a hollow blade.
- a feature of these pieces is that they are normally fitted with internal partitions covered by the wall, in order to stiffen the dawn or to compartmentalize the internal volume. These partitions disturb the measurements since their contributions to measurement signal overlap those of the wall and that they therefore tend to be confused with extra thickness.
- ultrasonic measurements are not suitable for everyone materials, especially those that are anisotropic.
- the process is based on the use of a particular eddy current detector, which is designed and used so that the contribution of partitions to the signal collected is minimized, and means of treatment are offered to eliminate substantially the influence of partitions on the measured.
- a particular eddy current detector which is designed and used so that the contribution of partitions to the signal collected is minimized, and means of treatment are offered to eliminate substantially the influence of partitions on the measured.
- the invention relates to a method for measuring the thickness of a wall hollow blade capable of covering partitions, characterized in that it consists in applying two poles of a magnetic core of a current detector Eddy on the wall in alignment parallel to partitions, the poles (8) being provided with coils (7) connected together in series, to move the detector on the wall perpendicular to the partitions, at record a signal produced by the detector, and deduce the wall thickness from calibrations preliminary.
- Figure 1 partially shows a 1 hollow blade whose profile is drawn by a wall exterior 2 stiffened by partitions 3 of widths, of different and poorly known depths and gaps.
- a sensor 4 is moved along a generator 5 of dawn 1. It comprises a magnetic core 6 in a hoop, on which an electromagnetic coil is formed, here composed of two coils 7 connected together in series and placed on the branches 8 of the hoop 6.
- the detector 4 is at the end of a support arm 9 pushed back by a spring 10 so that the ends of the branches 8 touch the wall 2; a motorized device 11 allows to move the arm 9 and the detector 4 along the generator 5.
- An alternating current generator 12 is placed on an electrical circuit 13 to which the coils 7 are connected in series, and a voltmeter 14 saves the voltage produced across the coils 7 and transmit it to a processing means 15 which constitutes an important element of the invention.
- the signal measured by the voltmeter 14 depends in particular of the eddy currents that induction electromagnetic coil 7 produced on the portion near dawn 1, and which depends, in addition to the thickness of the wall 22, the presence or the absence of a partition 3 in front of the detector 4 or at proximity.
- the influence of partitions 3 becomes almost imperceptible, so that we can even conceive of completely ignoring their existence and directly deducing the thickness of wall 2 from the signal received, after a preliminary calibration carried out on a series of smooth walls of different thickness.
- the input data circulates in the network being modified with each neuron that they cross.
- the neurons can be divided into successive layers and linked to all the neurons of the previous layer and the next layer.
- a two-layer network comprising an output layer C 2 with a single neuron providing the desired output (the thickness) and with a lower or hidden layer C 1 composed of a few neurons (two, three or four in practice) supplied by the values obtained from the signal (R 1 or R 2 for example) was sufficient.
- the neural network undergoes a prior learning which then allows it to express the descriptive parameters of a new situation, resembling the learning situation, according to the signals it receives. It is proposed here to make a calibration by means of a flat shim 30 (FIG. 6) formed of parallel strips 31 of increasing thickness and provided with ribs 32, similar to partitions 3, behind this plate, at different intervals, possibly d 'different thicknesses and widths which cut all the bands 31.
- the detector 4 is walked along these bands 31 in the same way as for blade 1, so that it provides a sufficient number of reference signals which are exploited to regulate the neural network by adjusting the weights and their biases.
- Such learning of the neural network can be done automatically by software so that the network outputs the known thickness of each band 31 as a function of the signals picked up by traversing this band.
- a equivalent way of proceeding would be, instead of taking both sets of measurements by 4 and 4 'detectors mounted on an arm support 9 'ending in fork, to use the single detector 4 provided that it is mounted on the arm of support 9 by a coupling 40 allowing rotation (figure 2). The process would be exactly the same if only the two categories of signals would obtained successively.
- detectors eddy currents such as detectors axisymmetric central coil emitting lines electromagnetic in all directions radiant, would only give results extremely imprecise in this app then an imprecision of standard deviation close to 10 ⁇ m for partitions a few millimeters thick can be hoped with the invention.
